Yellowstone National Park was established by an act of congress on March 1, 1872. Its 2.2 million acres is home to grizzly bears, elk, wolves, and bison. Along with the Old Faithful Geyser are a collection of an extraordinary group of geysers that do not receive the same press as Old Faithful.

The reverse of the coin features Old Faithful Geyser and a bison, both excellent representatives of the nation’s second National Park.
